Before the nation of Israel left Egypt they were instructed to take a lamb and sacrifice it and paint the blood of the lamb on the doorpost and lintel of the house. Then when the LORD came to destroy all the first born of Egypt he would passover the houses that had blood on the door posts.
Exo 12:12 'For I will pass through the land of Egypt on that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD.
Exo 12:13 Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.
Jesus was the lamb of God
Joh 1:29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
His death is like the death of the passover lamb. God will forgive the sins of those who accept that Jesus died for them. Easter is the time we remember the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus - the lamb of God

The Passover sacrifice, in the Jewish tradition, each family was to bring its own Paschal lamb to the Temple during the day of the 14th of Nissan as an offering, and then most of the meat was taken home to that family's Passover dinner that evening (the 15th of Nissan, which begins at sunset). This was a festival sacrifice, which is to say, not a sin offering. The Torah (Exodus 12:8) requires the family to eat the meat with unleavened bread and bitter herbs, the former to remind of the exodus from Egypt, the latter to remind of the bitterness of slavery. In the Christian tradition, the Jewish meaning of Passover is transformed (Jews would say misrepresented) into a sin offering, and then Jesus is likened to the Paschal lamb and his death is considered a sacrifice on behalf of all mankind. (Jews note that the only sacrifice in the Jewish tradition that is intended to atone for communal sins in this way is the Yom Kippur sacrifice of one of two goats, the other being released into the wilderness as the scapegoat.)

We can begin to witness this all around us and in our own lives. In simply terms we see it in the seasons as the life and energy of one dies away only to give re-birth to the next.
